Cognitive mapping on user interface design

Cognitive mapping has been used to assess spatial knowledge and decodes information about the relative locations and attributes of phenomena in the everyday spatial environment. This paper describes the application of a cognitive mapping technique in relation to user interface design. We refer to Object-Action Interface Model as an underlying principle to draw the relation with cognitive mapping. The most commonly used cognitive mapping technique, namely concept map, has been applied on a bus ticket booking mobile solution using a computer software CMap tool.
